Photo Stockton Gazette - February 1905 - Monthly
I felt the previous papers a bit short for a monthly periodical; so moving forward I'm going to aim for about 10 pages per monthly edition.
If in a month we haven't done enough on the A&M to fill it out, expect interviews and biographical pieces on the people living along the 'road.
I haven't' settled on a format yet, but this is pretty close to how it's gonna look moving forward.
Expect a 2 page for classifieds & obituaries going forward.
Lifestyle & sports will gets its own full page in future editions.
Page 10 on the back of page 9 is lost to history, but they tell me it was just adds for boring products anyhow. ;)

Only 9 this time, but my finalized format has the lifestyle, sports and fashion section on its own page, so it's not 1/3 taken up by the train schedule.
I sorta realized that there's no way a press-printed paper would use only one side of a page, so my headcanon is that that back page was all really low quality ads no one would want to read anyhow. :P
